A blues/rock’n’roll/punk show
hosted by a one-man band Tongue Tied Twin (Winterthur, Switzerland) did not
attract a huge audience, however, but for some 60+ regular giggoers who showed
up at Mitrovica Rock School on January 24 it was a night to cherish.

Never
before in our long history of gig organizing had we had our stage occupied by a
single man who, turns out, can utilize a host of instruments, ranging from
guitar to drums and harmonica, with incredible dexterity, creativity and
showmanship.

It was us experimenting
with the idea of having over a one-man band and it seems the audience was blown
away, so much so that we afterwards managed to squeeze in another show in his
hectic tour schedule coming Autumn this year which will be held at the same venue;
a reminder for all people who missed out on this one not to do it again! It
would take us awhile to cite all excited testimonials from the fans so it will
suffice to say they all agree that it was an enticing piece of musical
performance of a most refreshing sort.

Mitrovica to pursue my educational and professional goals.

Although my title is
not yet defined I’ll be here to assist the overburdened management team and
help with grant writing, narrative reporting and Mitrovica Rock School official
site up-keeping.

Looking forward to all the experience, new friendships and
memorable moments I will gain during my tenure here.
